Doug Hurd Manager of Cisco Secure Technical Alliance discusses how to eliminate five common problems in security deployments.

  1. Maintain tools without taking down the network – as it is never a good time to take the network down a visibility fabric allows you to architect the network to avoid this
  2. Avoid blocking legitimate traffic.
  3. Filter out unneeded traffic saving time and money – Filtering traffic upstream of the appliance optimizes cost.
  4. Optimize the number and speed of ports.
    1. Too many network links to monitor and not enough ports
    2. Tool and network speed mismatches
  5. Decrypt SSL traffic externally to save money and share multiple tools
